Celing concern - need help

I just bought a duplex and I was thinking of removing the popcorn ceiling. Is this too much of hassle? It is probably not worth messing with a tennant probably wouldnt care too much about it. Maybe however this little detail would make the place more desirable to rent out? Any opinions about this?

Also what is the best way to remove this crap if I decide to do it?

@Adam Azam find out when the house was built and if the popcorn is original to it. Old popcorn ceilings can contain asbestos. if you're uncertain, I believe that you can scrape off a small sample and send it to be tested.
